It's been a tale of alternating weeks lately. This one's a bad one.

Major wind storm yesterday and we've been without power since. 110 mph winds here in Salt Lake.  Fair amount of damage to the house and yard. Many of the very large trees in the neighborhood completely uprooted and we have neighbors much worse off than we are. Neither of our cars were crushed! Mom is in the ICU in Florida and I'm worried about her. Andy's fall baseball season just got cancelled for COVID reasons. 

Can't watch TV but I listened to NPR's All Things Considered on my phone this afternoon and I understand that the entire country is either burning down or blowing away amidst the ongoing pandemic. 

Managed a 2 mile jog before I lost interest and went for a walk instead listening to a book about the French Revolution.  Always besst to focus on calmer times durning times of stress. :-)
